Those and other versions of magnets are being marketed to people to use as bed
mattresses, shoe inserts, therapeutic devices etc etc etc. I have a friend who
is swearing that mattress is "curing" her back problem.
All that's needed is to present it as scientific "breakthrough" and spice it up
with fancy names.

Okay! now wait a minute.
you cannot compare a mechanical system with a biological one!
the principles are easy to tease out in a mechanical one (this mollecular
compound burns with more energy than this one).

A biological system... We still don't know all the ins and outs of our
systems. So, Don't presume that becuase it doesn't work on a mechanical one
that it doesn't work in a biological one.  Magnetics DO HAVE VALID
background in health care.  That one makes extravegant claims does NOT say
that NOTHING is going on.  Reasonable claims have substantiation.  Medical
textbooks do contain the physics of these effects.

Please don't cast aspersions about someones health successes.
